Soap bubble parties are the latest.
Twenty or thirty common clay pipes, fol
as many young ladies and gentlemen,
have ribbons Of different colors for every
two, and are separated in equal piles,
from which each person selects one, aud,
by matching colors, finds partner, SO to
speak, for the blowing. On medium
sized table stands bowl of soap and
water. The partners in turn blow bub-
bles, trying three times, amid the efforts
of the others to annoy and embarrass.
The one whose bubble remains unbroken
the longest is entitled to a prize.

The operetta of ''Little Red Riding
Hoods Rescue, performed at Holcombs
Hall, last Friday and Saturday evenings,
drew out fair-sized audiences. 1t was
pleasing performance and the children &C.
quilted themselves creditably. The solos
were rendered BY sweet voices, and the
choruses well trained. Two or three
tableaux were very prettily interspersed
with the operetta. Mrs. Edward Ritten-
honse, who trained the children for the
entertainment, is deserving of high praise
for her skill, and for the perfect manner
in which tho entire operetta was per-
formed.

An Authentic List of Hunterdon's sheriff,
From the Year 1900.


An Authentic List of Hunterdon's sheriffs
From the Year 1900.
Since the election Of Republican Sher-
iff here in Democratic Hunterdon there
has been much discussion as to the time
when this or that man occupied the office.
As matter of public information, and to
settle all disputes regarding dates, we
give complete list of our Sherffs, OBJ
tanned through the courtesy of Mr.. Geo,
l.. Bell, Deputy County Clerk, from the
records in the Clerks Office It will be
observed that Gabriel Hoff filled the Of
fee from 1924 to 1880, period of six
years. This was previous to the adop-
ton of the State Constitution (S44)
which limited the time that an individual
might ill the Office to three years. A
still further change In the Constitution
1879, making three years the legal term,
occurring during the first years occupan-
cy of the Office by Wesley Bells, explains
why that gentleman served four years,
being again nominated according to the
usage of his party and elected for the
term prescribed by the amended Consti-
tuition. Previously Sheriffs were elected
yearly. Of the politics of those elected
previous to the Hon. John Runk we can
not speak positively, but presume they
were Democrats, for about the year 1900
the Democratic party was formed, and re.
NAMED controlling power in the nation
almost uninterruptedly until 1860. Mr..
Rank was Wing. From the day that
he left the office-4S years ago-on down
10 last Tuesday, Democrats have been
elected to the office of Sheriff 10 Hunter

An item last week mentioned the
capture of another tapeworm in our city,
which seems to be not an uncommon oc-
currence. DIR. Geo. H. Larson, Of our
city, has a number of them that he has
taken from one and another, in a good
state of preservation. He is now having
them put in neat jars and labeled, to be
put in the collection of the District Medi-
cal Society, in the County Buildings at
Pennington, with much other valuable
matter. The Medical Society and His.
torical Society of Hunterdon, are collect
ing and preparing many things of inter-
est and value, and have already the wood
work completed to furnish one large
room.
